    The main aim of this research was to observe the effects of providing direct and indirect feedback on the students´ engagement during communicative language teaching activities. The specific objectives were to identify students’ perceptions in relation to receiving oral corrective feedback, to identify the most effective type of oral corrective feedback used in a communicative language classrooms, and to determine the effect of oral corrective feedback in EFL students’ engagement during communicative language teaching activities. Following a qualitative approach, this research was conducted in a public school located in Limache, where eleven students who belong to a communicative language workshop were observed. Three instruments were implemented during the investigation. A questionnaire, observations of different interventions and finally personal interviews. After the data was collected, through content analysis to analyse the data, it was possible to determine that previous conceptions about being orally corrected were not very positive, mostly because of the way teachers corrected the mistakes. The students’ perceptions for oral corrections depend on the teacher, the kind of error, and the way it was corrected. These research implications state that oral correction is a crucial part of the process when acquiring a language, where the data collected demonstrated that in communicative language teaching activities, teachers should provide indirect feedback to the students, rather than direct feedback. Giving indirect feedback has a positive effect on the students’ engagement while participating in communicative language activities and oral production.
